Re: (ET) Nothing happening?



Well, we just acquired a snowblower, thanks to SteveS. A big beast! In the past, we've used our E15 with a plow blade. We also have an E12M, and it would be nice to have the blade on one and the blower on the other, so we can use both of them this winter. The biggest issue is that the E12M lacks a front lift, which is needed for both items. I see two possibilities:

1. Put the blower on the E12M. Have a mounting bracket fabricated (I need to do this in any case) that has an additional part that extends upwards and holds a 12 volt winch, which will serve as the lift.

2. Put the plow on the E12M. The plow I have has a bracket that extends all the way under the tractor and attaches to a bracket that is attached to the rear axle. SO first I would have to see if the bracket can be moved to the E12M. (Is the E12M longer than the E15?) Then I would need to try and find a way to make the E12Ms mower height lever move the plow, or use a winch for a lift.

thoughts?
